Business Insurance - Travelling 'should not be more expensive during Olympics'

Travelling 'should not be more expensive during Olympics'

Travel companies who put up travel prices during the London Olympics in 2012 risk alienating their regular business customers, it has been claimed.

According to Eurostar, any firms that try to make a quick buck by hiking up the cost of using their services are naive.

Commercial director Nick Mercer stated: "We are not going to do anything. You'd have to be crazy to affect regular business or leisure relationships with tour operators or travel agents."

He added companies should instead try and show visitors that the capital is a good value destination.

Mr Mercer explained this would mean the sporting event would have a lasting positive legacy.

In other news, recent research from Barclaycard revealed 75 per cent of firms expect their employees to travel in a professional capacity more or the same amount in 2009 as they did last year.

Such companies may find they can keep down costs by purchasing cheap business travel insurance online.
